some level, all authors must write, read, and listen. This concise book
consists of three straightforward chapters, "Writing,"
"Reading," and "Listening." Each chapter ends with a useful
insight related to the respective topic. Four appendices provide writing
prompts; samples by the author; 17 contributions from members of the Write,
Read, Listen Writing Circle; and finally, Room to Write pages that are blank
until you, dear reader-writer, interactively fill them with your own important
work.
